The use of the chador in Under the Shadow is one example of how the film successfully manages to be both a serious reflection on the position of women in Iran and an intensely creepy horror film.&dash; Electric Sheep - EDIT

As morally murky as Confessions, and as emotionally intense as Memories of Matsuko, The World of Kanako is a visceral dive into hearts of darkness and the ties that bind them.&dash; Electric Sheep - EDIT

Plunging the audience into a world of brutalisation and oppression, of relationships distorted by abusive power, of impotent victims' perverted strategies of survival, Shrew's Nest cannot help but resonate with the painful history of the country.&dash; Electric Sheep - EDIT

Despite its flaws, A Field in England is an original, adventurous, imaginative, compelling work, a rare enough thing in a British cinema stifled by formulaic scripts and timorous financing entities, to deserve being celebrated.&dash; Electric Sheep - EDIT

The film fluidly moves between reality and fantasy, past and present, never delineating them clearly, suggesting they all have the same texture in Ana's mind and are part of the same continuum.&dash; Electric Sheep - EDIT

Crucially, the film fails to coherently convey the fact that Lou is an unreliable narrator and that what he tells us might not be true, something that would help explain the characterisation of the women and distance the film from his view of them.&dash; Electric Sheep - EDIT

I expected the film to be cleverer, but in the end what you have is yet another film that focuses on a female victim who is stripped naked and humiliated, but is not smart enough to get herself out of the situation.&dash; Electric Sheep - EDIT
